DVD ROM drive missing from the Explorer

I installed nero burning rom on vista and then the dvd rom drive disappeared from the Explorer.  When I went into the Device Manager and checked my dvd rom for the solution properties, it says that the driver could not load and that Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19). How can I recover from this issue now? I don't want to reinstall vista or uninstall nero. But I want that this CD-ROM drive back in the Solution Explorer. What can I do or how I should do? I need a step by step procedure that can solve this problem.

Try running the Fixit:

  • CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive: status of the device - this device cannot start. (Code 10)

    In Device Manager, my CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive has a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. I tried to use the online solution to correct, but it does not find a solution. I also tried to update the software, but no luck there. Help, please.
    Thank you
    iSavage

    First thought: try reading the Windows Installation DVD.  If it works, then your player works properly, at least a little.

    Next: You tried to update the drivers for the CD/DVD in Device Manager?  Generally, Windows is plug and play for this type of devices.  This means that if you install, Windows will load the proper drivers and they will work.

    So-
    If you have restarted?
    Did you test the drive?
    Try to uninstall the driver in the device and restart Manager.
    Have you looked in the BIOS to see if the CD-ROM drive is activated?

    It is generally true that a yellow triangle mean a driver problem.
    That it should be fixed by uninstalling the driver and restarting.

    If you still have problems, post ack with more details and we'll see what we can do for you.

    See you soon!

  • DVD RW drive disappears from the computer and the Device Manager on Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit

    After upgrading Vista to Windows 7, my DVD RW drive will disappear from official view and computing device and a scan for changes on the material or use of the player will not solve. Resolves a reboot of the PC (HP - Sony DVD RW desktop computer).
    It appears in the BIOS and when the first install Windows 7 found and the device manager reported everything is ok. It seems that after a power management feature has occurred and the PC wake up the disc is missing and the only way to return it is a restart.
    Help, please

    Thanks for the info, I had seen it work elsewhere on the net for similar problems with Vista, but not of joy as the either the upper or lower part reg entries appear under this subkey. They do it for the disk subkey but no CDROM

    Hibernation is disabled and I use power management to High Performance with only a screen sleep as a default 20 mintes and the hard drive after an hour of sleep. I upped since the two of them to see if that helps.

    Hello

    It is very rare for the methods in the 1st answer above does not fix a Code 19.

    You might have a disk problem as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD and CD burn and)
    DVD playback). Therefore, it is not unusual for 1 or 2 rooms with not so work that others do it properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are some registry entries
    that the troubleshooter does not, and those who "could" be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and device for possible firmware updates and the good
    Your player registry entries.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the reader of CD/DVD subkeys of course that he will be
    other subkeys in these keys. Be sure to ask specific keys involved as well as the parameters.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\IDE

    Besides what abdelhak says:

    The message of PXE boot that you receive when you start your computer has nothing to do with your CD/DVD-Rom drive. Your computer uses a PXE boot method to attempt to load Windows from a location on your network. Since you do not have this configuration, it is safe to ignore it. If it slows down the startup time of your system, contact your manufacturer and ask them for instructions on how to "disable PXE Network Boot of the BIOS.

  • HD DVD - ROM driver is missing or corrupt on Satellite A200-s 23

    Hi, recently I bought my Toshiba Satellite A200-23 s and now it says that the HD DVD-ROM driver is missing or currupted. The system can not see DVD - ROM. My laptop is still under warranty, but perhaps I can fix it somehow? I found the list of drivers on this site but you've not seen DVD - ROM drivers.
    Thank you

    Don t think that it s a hardware problem.
    I think that it s a registry problem.

    Access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  • The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM driver failed to initialize

    Keeps my CD/DVD-ROM driver not boot on the market.  Device Manager, says the driver is there, but it does boot, where will not read or write.  It's on an eMachines T3642 that came with Vista Home Premium.  The supplied operating system CD is available but not (obviously) read.  Help me not sysem restore... first restore point is September 22, 2009 and several dates different restoration do not help.

    eMachines support provides no answers on products out of warranty.  This set was purchased in January 2008, has worked very well with several old and a few new programs and material added since then.

    According to the diagnosis of Vista via the Device Manager, the failure of the pilot gave 37 error code.  The driver date is 21/06/2006, version 6.0.6002.18005,.

    Quandry: SOMETHING again loaded in via CD-ROM cannot load because the drive can't read it.     :-(
    The diagnosis of MS an available (on another window) will not download. (?)

    Color me irritated and frustrated (not a good fashion these days).  Help, please.

    Hello AF6AY,

    Have you tried to uninstall the dvd via the Device Manager drive then restart PC to see if Windows reinstalls? You can do it. If the problem is still there, can give a try? It is a quick easy fix from Microsoft, here is the link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060. You need to uninstall all third-party software (example: Roxio, Nero, or iTunes) from your computer before you make this correction. After you restart, you can reinstall your software and try again to see if that solves your problem. Otherwise, it could be a bad optical drive. Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

  • Windows Media Center cannot detect the error DVD Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD into the drive

    Original title: why Windows Media Center does not detect my DVD?

    I built my computer motherboard ASUS P658D, Intel i7 processor clocked at 2.6 gHz, 12 GB RAM, 750W Corsair PWR. power, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit & ie9. When I put or the other two DVDs in one of two DVD players, Windows Media Center appears and when I click on "Play DVD" Media Center give me a window that says:

    "Windows Media Center cannot detect a DVD in the DVD - ROM drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Two DVDs, I've tried are educational for DVD

    my Nikon D300 Digital camera and a family video DVD or both these very well play in a bed of same computer running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, & ie8.

    I tried Microsoft Fixit, no help. I tried to send Microsoft Support, and I got NO HELP. I did not bring any changes, and installed any program, just

    scoured the internet. A DVD player is a Sony Optarc with Microsoft Driver, the other is ASUS. I also tried to use Windows Media Player but nothing

    rises or it returns me to Windows Media Center and it does not detect to play either of my DVD. How can I get help here, or from Microsoft? Thank you.

    No, there is no yellow warning in Device Manager and the device manager says that two DVD players work properly. Mr. Fix it's

    automated download from microsoft that is supposed to automatically fix some problems, but he provided no help here. I think it is more likely

    that there is a problem with Windows Media Center or Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and either of my two new Sony DVD drives

    and ASUS.

    I thought my way in a solution. My thought was: Device Manager indicates DVD players work properly and both are new and we're Sony, and the other ASUS so I think only an unlikely problem with readers. The problem is with Windows Media Center "do DETECTED is not the DVD. So there must be a problem with Windows Media Center. I thought that I might need to reinstall Windows 7... then I thought that maybe if I just reinstall Windows Media that will work. He did. My problem was:

    Start > Panel > programs and features > features on or off Windows activate > then uncheck the box for multimedia functions > restart the computer > and then re-check the box to restore the multimedia features > now both discs play both DVDs, I tried. Both disks are operating normally. Reinstall the characteristics of media Windows 7 resolved the problem. Thanks to all who offered solutions.
